POrphyrius recordeth in a Treatise of his De vita Plotini that when Plotinus a famous PHILOSOPHER in Rome entred into his Schoole to performe his accustomed vse of reading casting his eyes aside he presently espyed Origen prepared to be his hearer At whose aspect rubore suffusus blushing Plotinus ceased to speake which Origen perceauing requested him to proceed but the Philosopher replyed that it was time for a professor to holde his peace when his Auditours before hand knew what he intented to teach I make no doubt but the verie Title and inscription of this little Treatise giues good notise inckling what shal be the subsequents wherin I might very well hold my peace with Plotinus being an eye witnesse of so many learned Philosophers others in place that could both ornatius dicere concinius agere a matter of such worth then my selfe But as in causis vniuocis est semper verum that nemo dat quod non habet So in officious performances where there wants abilitie the next degree to well doing is to bee faithfully willing and desirous to doe well For Bona pars est probitatis toto pectore velle fieri probum Therefore hauing bene a member of that famous Vniuersitie and fortunate Mother of all learning that from her fruitefull wombe hath sent foorth so many sufficient Schollers to supporte her owne reputation and to supply the defects and imperfections of others I among the rest though the vnworthyest of all in gratefull remembrance of some former benefits receiued from her haue taken so vppon me to set downe the true Ioye which she expressed by externall actions as voice and gestures the signes of eternall loue and passion Through the windowes whereof a man might easily passe with the sight of his vnderstanding and discouer the secret affection and gladnesse conceited by the approach of his most excellent Majesty the Queene young Prince vnto that their worthie Cittie of Oxford For vpon Tuesday the 27. of August laste his Maiestie comming from VVoodstocke to Oxford the Earle of Dorset Lord Chauncelor accompained with the Vice-Chauncelor the Doctors Proctors certaine Senior Masters rode foorth vpon their foote-cloath Horses verie richlye furnished to meete the King whome they expected about Aristotles Well where hauing intention that the Vice-Chauncelor should first salute his Majestie with a speech Maister Maior with his company passed by without regard to them purposing indeed that his Orator should first speak which when the Lord Chauncelor perceiued he presently sent to the Maior and charged him to surcease his purpose till the Vice-Chauncelor had finished his Oration to the King with which message the Maior was little pleased yet his mends were small for hee retired with speede and had no better excuse for himselfe then to say hee did not see them notwithstanding they were hard by him and all in their Scarlet Gownes After this his Maiestie drawing neere the Lord Treasorer and the Vice-chauncelor repayred vnto him who stayed his course and rayned his Horsse of State whereon he rode the Vice-chauncellor presenting him-selfe with his speech vnto his Highnes surrendring vp the Keyes of the Vniuersitye and the Beadles deposing their Staues and laying them downe at his Majesties feet Further deliuering vnto him the New Testament in Greeke very fairely bound and richly guilded vnto the Queene a Purse to the young Prince a paire of gloues With which Oration at his first meeting and the seuerall guiftes presented vnto them the King Queene and Prince were so well pleased and delighted that the whole Vniuersitie receiued much content comfort After the Lord Chauncelors and the Vniuersites salutation Maister Maior addressed himselfe towards the King and by the mouth of the Townes Orator he his bretherē pronounced an English speech to his Majestie and presented three seuerall Cuppes the one to the King another to the Queene and another to the Prince Maister Maior rendring vp his Mace striued with himselfe to doe all duetifull obeysance that might be accepted which the King discouering verie graciously encouraged and gaue him great and heartye thankes for his good will and louing duetie towards him This finished his Majestie passed along till hee came before Saint Iohns Colledge where three little Boyes comming foorth of a Castle made all of Iuie drest like three Nimphes the conceipt wherof the King did very much applaude and deliuered three Orations first in Latine to the King then in english to the Queene and young Prince which beeing ended his Majestie proceeded towards the East gate of the Citie where the Townes-men againe deliuered vnto him another speech in english That speech ended the King with all his traine of Noble men and others entred the Cittie where in the after noone about one of the clocke by the ringing of a Bell at Saint Maries Church the Schollers in their formalities according to their seuerall degrees were gathered together and repaired towards Christe-Church gates where they began to be placed and rancked They stood all of one side of the streete without any intermixion eyther of strangers Townes-men or any others that were not Schollers of the Vniuersitie and were of the left hand of the King as he passed by Next to the gates of Christ Church where his Majestie was receiued stood the Doctors of Diuinity in their Scarlet next thē the Doctors of Phisick then the Doctors of Lawe next them the Batchelers of Diuinitie
